Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 cups sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan or line with mini cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 4

Divide the dough evenly into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and press it into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cavity, forming a small cup shape.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.

Step 6

Fill each cookie cup with a tablespoon of the lemon filling, ensuring not to overfill.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie cups are lightly golden and the filling is set.

Step 8

Remove the tassies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful garnish if desired.

Step 10

Store the Lemon Dream Tassies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
